  • Hey guys! In today's video I will be working on a 2014 Toyota RAV4. The headlight alignment was way off causing night time driving to be a hassle. I adjusted it and now it looks great at night. Hope this helps you guys out!

    You can use a Philips head screwdriver as well as a ratchet if you want. Put it just in front of the 10mm bolt where you see the teeth of the adjuster.

      @@TheMaafiaGarage 2017 LE. I bought it for my wife over a year ago as a lease turn in. The only thing I can think is it had front end damage that was repaired at one point but I dont know if it was in an accident or not. Do you know if there's a left to right adjustment on these? I had to point the driver side light down because people were flashing her and getting so pissed that one guy did a 180° and started following her. Now she says she can barely see at night so I need to get it fixed before I have to deal with some road raging moron.

      @@cvdubya5774 oh my goodness that is freaking crazy! So unfortunately sometimes when the car has front end damage, whoever was the shop that fixed it probably didn't bolt the headlight properly back into place. Or one of the mounting tabs is probably broken causing the headlight to be off. Try to see if the headlight housing itself moves in and out if you push on it lightly.

      So far I no one has flashed me. And I did a test and had my mom drive up at night while I was in my car and it didn't blare in my eyes haha. So I think my rav is good. But yes if it's too high up and people are going to be flashing me I will definitely lower the light output 😁

    Just a couple suggestions, the part where you started doing righty tighty then had to do lefty Lucy could’ve been cut out. And both my headlights are high so I don’t know what the height adjustment should be. A dimension in inches from the ground would be nice.
    Your video is still better than I can do at the moment so thanks.

    • @TheMaafiaGarage
      @TheMaafiaGarage  2 роки тому

      Thank you for your constructive opinion, I'll take it and be sure to implement that in my later videos. Sorry about that.
      As for the inches from the ground, I can't get a precise measurement because I don't know how far anyone should be from a garage door or a wall for it to be properly adjusted. I would recommend parking back enough to get a good idea of how you should adjust it. I just wanted to give a basic and quick instruction on how to do it for those who do not know where to start.

      Make sure the bulb is locked in place and not flopping around that was the problem with mine when it was down like that.
